Carolina Puppet Theatre sets dates for summer shows

You must enter the characters with black color that stand out from the other characters

Carolina Puppet Theatre, which has regular shows in Holly Springs and Wake Forest, has a slightly different schedule this summer.

These shows are fun for toddlers to young grade schoolers and feature stories, songs, puppets and more. If you go, be sure to have your child bring a picture or note for Bartlett, the yellow-haired puppet and "star" of the show. There's usually a mailbox where you can place the picture, which they'll pull out during the show.

Here's the summer schedule:

11 a.m., July 7, July 21, Aug. 4, Holly Springs Cultural Center

11 a.m., July 8, July 22, Aug. 5, at the Renaissance Center in Wake Forest
